The two stories have one thing in common: We nurture and support our future pillars to develop and give back to society. In the ‘Cover Story’, Principal Lo shares with us his beliefs and experience as an educator with a career of over 35 years as well as his future expectations for Queen's Hill School. Principal Lo and his team hope to nurture students who love themselves and are dedicated to influence others with their own examples and to serve others in the new development area of Queen's Hil. 'Special’ features Ka-yan who once lacked confidence due to failures in her studies and work. Encouraged by social workers, Ka-yan became aware of her own strengths and talents. In May, not only did she get hired as ActivityAssistant at The Salvation Army Tai Wo Hau Centre for Senior Citizens through an open recruitment, but she also won an award from the Labour Department. Ka-yan also continues her studies, hoping to pass on her knowledge to the elders at the Centre. We hope all the children and young people under the Army's care and support will grow in love and shine in the future.

The mission of a school is not just passing knowledge but cultivating students in ways that suit them best. As an educator with a career of over 35 years, the principal of The Salvation Army Centaline Charity Fund Queen's Hill School (Queen's Hill School) Mr Daniel Lo Yiu-kei believes strongly that a school should connect with teachers, students and parents with love and respect, and it is the role of a school to nurture student growth and teach them to love themselves and others. Over all these years, he has put these ideas on education in his workin The Salvation Army schools. Supporting every student Over the course of his long career, Principal Lo had participated in the start-up of two schools, and one of them was The Salvation Army Lam Butt Chung Memorial School (Lam Butt Chung School) in Tung Chung. In those days, most students in Tung Chung were from grassroots families, so the first thing the school did was arranging support for each student's basic needs. Lo, who acted as the Discipline Officer at that time, recalled, 'We reached for different sources to get resources and subsidies for students, and we did home visits. We also gradually upgraded the school facilities, trying to provide various learning opportunities for our students." Every student is unique and Prinicipal Lo has guided them using various approaches. ‘In those days, | shared with students bible stories and life lessons in every morning assembly and recess through broadcasting, reminding them that only if they finish small things well can they achieve big things. If there were students being good in class, | would take a note of their names; | appreciated and recognised our students whenever they did well, even for small things like wearing uniforms tidily. Over time it built up students’ awareness to motivate themselves.’ K101g 49005 4 BE EH Mt |K10ig 19003 BE BL BE | MZ REO ROEM PSRARE NAO SRSS > WEEMS ME BME Ee o HERA BNAR RRS 5 © PRR PR ARSE tN FS Po ASP RAR A BUA SUN BE RORERRE » LSKAAERE > ALEPH ° BRT BABS AE > BARMAN H s B AABN S ©) FR OHRA AIS HEAT B) IB AT APA BY > RRA P SR > TERY EIPABY © | sa: CABRERA BH) > ADAE SESH MAIR ° HA BBA GNSS CKARBRHKEN BE > BRAS th SBA ABS ° BRNSEESKS ERM OER PS > TERUG LARS + FARE?

In her two-year studies, the school has given her great support in many ways. ‘My family environment was rather bad. My parents are not well educated and worked all day till the night. The school understood our financial difficulties, and they arranged extra-curricular activities, subsidies and travelling allowance for us. The young me did not think it was something special, not until when | went to secondary school | realised such help was not something that can be taken for granted." ‘| was not old enough to understand, but we could always feel the sincere care given by the teachers,’ she continued. ‘They recognised students who got good grades and did well at sports, and they also care for the naughty ones. Every day Mr Lo greeted us at the front gate, said hi to us one by one when we lined up before and after classes. He would tell us to keep away from the traffic and be aware of the bugs and mosquitoes in bushes. His thoughtful words adding up bit by bit and have anchored in my heart. All these episodes may seem weightless but they are treasure for students like me who came from a difficult family environment.' Multifaceted approach to bring loving culture to the community Later, Principal Lo advocated a people-oriented approach in Lam Butt Chung School, focusing on building the characters and virtues of both students and teachers through developing and nurturing their qualities and personality. He then brought the same education idea to the newly opened Queen's Hill School. Attaching great value to people-oriented and positive education, the new school works on discovering and nurturing students’ strengths, building their resilience in adversity and encouraging personal growth. The regular school curriculum, combining with Christianity-based spiritual education, guides students to have a loving attitude towards themselves and others. Pastor and school join hands together to support students, parents and school staff with spiritual, emotional and daily life needs.Sear RARERSSUHte ER?

Principal Lo shared his vision on the future development of Queen's Hill School. 'The top priority for now is to work with our teachers and parents so that we can have a good foundation. In the coming two years, we will provide positive education training across all our teaching staff and give them opportunity to develop their strengths. For parents, we will set up a "parenting workshop" with lectures and trainings on disciplining and positive education, sharing the techniques of parenting. If our teachers and parents are not well prepared to work with us together, how can we set good role models for the students and help them to build their characters?’ Pastor of the school cares not only for teachers and students, but also joins the parenting workshop and Parent-Teacher Association to provide pastoral care for parents. Christianity themes can be found many places in the school - the main hall was designed with references to a church and there is a small stained glass chapel which serves as the venue for school activities, PTA meetings and spiritual education sessions.

Today, honour and respect for the old is still a common expectation among the older generation and the wider community, and yet over the course of the past years it is often that | hear my friends sharing their worries and difficulties in taking care of their parents. At work, | have met many young carers who feel helpless, isolated and overwhelmed with stress in taking care of their ageing parents. In Hong Kong, the trend of ageing population continues, and it is becoming a super-aged society with an elderly population of over 20% (Florian Coulmas, 2007). Meanwhile, due to the persistently low fertility rate, the proportion of the population aged under 15 is projected to decrease gradually from 12.2% in 2019 to 7.6% in 2069 (Census and Statistics Department, 2020). The ageing of population is a global issue. With lower fertility and longer life expectancy, the pace of population ageing in Hong Kong will be more pronounced as compared to other developed economies (Economic Letter, the Office of the Government Economist, 2019/02). Nowadays we live with more unstable factors. The younger generation, even those who are willing to take up the role of carers and agree that they are responsible for taking care of their parents, no longer feel that the idea of providing for their parents is absolute. As times change, the gap between the moral ideal and reality increases ~ many young carers are not confident as to whether they can provide for their parents. In 2018, The Salvation Army conducted a survey on ‘Willingness, Preparedness and Factors of Caring for Parents’, with the responses from a total of 707 potential carers and 314 current carers. It was delightful to find that potential carers had a high willingness to care forBRB AELAR » hea RBS NAB > ATBRTR PR _LLABEIBY ° BYHC Ss BBL RES SURRERS > tS ARBAS AY BERS > LGR MRR AEE TEE RE RM —ARDRAR BTS A RRS) FO HERA ARRES) SUR ABR SHE 5 DERE SORES IM RSET A 5) > IMMA IMR SAK 5 RARE BE RMA SET RRS RSH MELE BE.

However, regarding their views and expectations on ‘providing care’, over half of the respondents expressed that they might not take up the role as major or sole carers. Instead of being ‘full-time carers’ themselves, they tended to take up a management and coordinating role and hire domestic helpers or home caregivers to look after their parents around the clock. At present, there is still a long way to go for the advocacy of carer- based services. Most services for carers are available targeting the elder carers. For young carers, as they need to juggle various situations and aspects at their life stages, it is even more challenging for them to take up the caregiving role. However, as there is not enough social awareness and understanding for the needs of these younger carers, the existing policies and support mechanisms may not be of much help to them. The Army has been advocating different measures to government and sectors, including a higher flexibility in the use and application of the ‘Health Care Vouchers’ and ‘Community Care Service Vouchers’; regulation of domestic helper employment agencies through authentication, proper training and assessment for domestic helpers; and tax incentives to encourage corporates to implement carer-friendly measures, such as flexible work hours and carer holidays. It is hoped that the above measures will allow carers more flexibility in their caregiving arrangements, thus more effectively supporting the carers. Regarding services, we are dedicated to integrating a family care planning perspective into our family, elderly and carer services to inspire families to develop a family care plan and be well aware of division of responsibilities among themselves. Regarding the individuals, we suggest that young carers should work out a concrete care plan with their parents and discuss together the division of work, family assets, how to support the needs for years-long caregiving, etc. More importantly, we encourage carers to stay connected with the ‘community and dare to seek help when necessary. It not only allows their parents to receive comprehensive care services, but also alleviate pressure of themselves as carers and let them know they are not alone. While children may want to provide basic care for their parents, what parents want from their children may instead be the support from the emotional level. Family affection nurtures us for a lifetime. In this everchanging era, | wish that you and your family would open up with each other, prepare well in elder care and walk far in this journey together. «cline and Ageing in Japan: The Social Consequences.

Soon after she started secondary school, she was overwhelmed by the academic pressure and the stress of changing of environment. The stress was so much that one day during a lesson she had difficulty in breathing. She went to hospital for treatment and did return to school after her condition improved, but the stress came back as she restarted school; she was no longer able to fully focus during lessons and later had difficulty even to write. Inevitably her school results were affected greatly because of that. School life for her was unhappy and full of frustrations. Her confidence was low and her relationships with others were not fulfilling, she only had few friends at school. Enhancing employability through YETP Ka Yan did not do too well in the HKDSE, so her school suggested her taking the diploma course in the Shine Skills Centre. After obtaining her diploma, she found a design related job, but quitted only after one week because she was unable to adapt to the working environment and the pressure of facing clients. This experience made her re-evaluate her options, but due to her introvert personality, anxiety and failed experiences, her confidence dropped to a point that she thought there was not much to hope for in her future. Ka Yan met a social worker from The Salvation Army, who brought the Youth Employment and Training Programme (YETP) into view for her. She enrolled in the programme as one of the trainees, hoping this could bring positive momentum into her life and allow her to once again set direction for her life. At the beginning of the programme, social workers provided her information and advice regarding various career fields, guiding her to better understand herself and helping her to unearth her abilities and strengths. Later, through YETP Ka Yan obtained a training opportunity at The Salvation Army Education and Development Centre. During the one-month workplace attachment training, Ka Yan was responsible for the clerical work for her unit. This training has allowed her to regain assurance on her working ability. With the support of social workers and her workplace mentor, her communication skills and confidence improved, and her employability enhanced. leeds am am |jeisads a a | artment presented e "Youth Training Body’ and ‘Caring Employer to the Army.

She was doing well in her first year and received good reviews from her superior. Sadly, her job duties changed and her workload increased after her direct superior left, and she was again overwhelmed by the pressure and started questioning her working ability. She resigned from the job soon afterwards. Losing confidence, Ka Yan decided to join the YETP again and sought help from social workers and the programme. Through meetings and consultations, she understood that as an anxiety-prone person it may be difficult for her to handle high-paced or demanding jobs in the market, but rather NGOs or more caring job environments will be more suitable for her. About the same time, the Career Kick-start Employment Project of the YETP started to accept applications, and with the encouragement of social workers Ka Yan joined the Project and started her one- year on-the-job training in The Salvation Army Tai Wo Hau Centre for Senior Citizens as an activity assistant trainee.BRE BRAS EAR RBH BIGHA Hi PRAEHRT LAS RER?

Gearing up to restart In the beginning, despite there being only a relatively short time for Ka Yan to adapt and learn about the job, she has successfully made it through. Her performance exceeded the expectations of her colleagues and impressed the on-the-job training instructor and the unit supervisor. Ka Yan recalled that her colleagues looked out for her all the time and taught her the skills she needed for the job with great patience. She has now completely adapted to the environment and can fully handle the job duties. The recognition of her work from her superior gives her courage to try working independently and handling more complicated duties. She has developed a more active and committing attitude throughout this one-year working period, and this positive experience increased her confidence in developing a career in NGOs. After finishing the one-year Career Kick-start Employment Project, Ka Yan applied for the post of activity assistant of Tai Wo Hau Centre for Senior Citizens through open recruitment. She successfully got the offer in May 2021 and has been working there since then. In April 2021, she was nominated by the Army for the YETP Most Improved Trainee (MIT) Awards. organised by the Labour Department. After an intensive series of vetting and interviews, Ka Yan was selected in July as one of the awardees of the MIT Awards, with the Army being awarded with the titles of ‘Youth Training Body' and ‘Caring Employer’ on the same occasion. Hoping to upgrade herself continuously, Ka Yan is now attending the certification course of Japan Pasterior-Sho instruction. She wants to bring the knowledges and skills she has learnt to the elderly in the Centre and is now diligently working towards her goals. leeds am am |tt e#Sa Buueys s941 TRIS "ABRAVE STEP FORWARD' RES CRF R) H-HON Bee Hk > AMSEFRM > MEPRERD ZACHRE HRMS RAED RBS Leo MAMA "ERFBH) BAZ E> Hh BUS MIR AMBRE AR Rah ° Bf?

Ching has joined the ‘Tuen Mun Caring Handicraft Workshop’ for 3 years. Her vocal cord was injured before and she had become rather introverted and passive. When she first joined the Workshop, Ching was reluctant to communicate and express her views to other members, worrying that they might look down on her. She just quietly worked on her handicrafts.
